How do you factor in the points made by asr and gjm? In particular,

  1. Much effort is already being spent in dealing with the problems posed by industrial capitalism.

  2. It's likely that the amount of resources being spent on countering potentially hostile AI (AI as computer programs, not AI as institutions) is less than or equal to the amount justified by that threat.
